This is the second Saponificio Varesino shaving soap I have tried. The first being the 70th Anniversary Beta 4.1, which I have reviewed separately.
First, I pre-soaked my Brad Sears shaving brush. Put a few drops of hot water on the puck and a little water in the lather bowl. Shook and squeezed the excess water from brush and loaded soap from tin. Started lathering in lather bowl and added a little more water to build up lather.
Got a nice dense lather that was slick and provided excellent cushion. CG Brass Torpedo razor glided over skin. No nicks, weepers or irritation. The scent is also fabulous. I would say a little more earthy than the 70th Anniversary. Coin flip over which I prefer. Today it is the Cosmo.
Another great shaving soap from Saponificio Varesino!
